Letter for Regular Readers

Dear Reader,

The funny thing about blogging is that you have no idea who is reading or how many.

So, if I have any regular readers I want to notify you of a change in my posting habits. If you regularly visit this site you've noticed that I post five times a week, Monday-Friday. However, from now on I'm going to try to post three times a week, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Here are the reasons for the change. I'm making the following assumptions:

1. I have only a few readers.
2. Of those few, most check in with me weekly and probably not on a daily basis.

If this is true then I think I'm writing too much. My posts are long and semi-technical (not hard, but not meant for surfing). So, if someone only visits my site once or twice a week they are facing a lot of words if they want to catch up on 2-4 days of posts. And, although I think I'm talking about some interesting stuff, I don't expect many people are going to take the time to catch up on a week’s worth of posts from me. I think three posts a week is better for people who check in weekly or bi-weekly.

So, unless I hear a huge outcry from people who want to read this blog everyday, I'm going to go to three posts a week from now on.

Wishing you the best,
Richard
